I read an article this morning that pissed me off. I had to share. I wanted you to be knowledgable that this kind of thing exists. I don't know how you all feel about religion, or about the rights of doctors but no matter your beliefs, I still think it is important to be aware you may be denied care due to religious affiliation.

Greetings to all my friends and my sincere apologies for being such a snobby lazy ass bitch for not blogging sooner.... Just wanted to let you all know that life is such a son of a bitch! I don't mean that as such an absolute negative, I'm just trying to point out the fact that sometimes you take a look at yourself in the proverbial mirror and you wonder who's looking back at you. For the life of me I never thought I could ever change this much in one year. You all may be wondering where I'm coming from, and at the same time some of you may be skipping ahead to the next blog entry. All I'm saying is that I really never understood how people change us. I've been friends with some of you for such a long time. I've witnessed some of you in relationships that lasted longer than my ring size in months, and longer. I also took mental note about how different you became. It was never a bad thing, it was just different. I saw how being with someone and actually having to worry about their feeling affected your life. Mainly because it affected me too, and I was pissed about it. I shouldn't use the word pissed, rather I was just being selfish. This is all coming up because today instead of indulging myself in the cutest pair of Diesel linen pants I purchased a set of pans instead. Who am I and what happened to the Shaun I use to know and love??? I scare myself and I just wanted to know if that's normal and if I'll be able to live with myself come the time I see someone else this summer wearing my pants.... Not that I'd be able to fit in them then anyway. What's up with that, too? I agree that I'm not going to sleep with anyone else and automatically I gain 10 pounds? Is that some kind of universal contract with ourselves that makes us feel so nasty that we won't even try to flirt. Anyway, I'm rambling and I apologize. If you do understand any of this, and where I'm coming from let me know. Cause I'm starting to wonder if I do. Miss you all, and hope to somehow see you soon. Love as Always.... We should all get together sometime and perform RENT, but only to paying customers....!

Short thought for you girls... eh hem I mean WOMEN
I'm taking Business Law right now and at first I hated it but it is actually growing on me. It's really interesting. It's a lot of info to stick in my head in five weeks. I don't think I will retain much due to the short class schedule but at least I am enjoying myself for the time being. Usually I am ripping my hair out right about now.

Something to laugh about....
I hate to think I messed up Korean like this, although I'm sure I have at one time or another. Anyway, here's something to help you start the week off with a smile.

Movies
Songcatcher
Started out thinking "What the hell is this movie... but okay I'll watch it cause I've seen everything else that is on TV today." Then I recognized an actor, Aidan Quinn from Legends of the Fall and I decided to keep watching.
The story is about this woman, a pianist with a doctorate in music (I guess), who travels to this back country village to collect their folk songs for a music book. Sounds stupid? Yes. I was hesitant to watch it. But keep reading. It is set in 1907 and the village is full of ignorant people who can't read. They live in the mountains where they are sitting on top of coal-rich land that developers/money hungry people want to buy. The doctorate/pianist at first doesn't want to get involved cause she is there for her job but ends up feeling strongly for the people and starts telling them not to take the deal, educating them and helping them out in any way she can. I missed the very beginning, like 5 minutes and missed if she came to the town alone or with people, but she was living with other people and they also play into the story. There is a love story between two teachers that goes sour, a love story between the main character and Aidan Quinn, some action in a fighting scene.... it's a good movie. Although, one thing I would change is the main character. She is like 6 ft tall and towers over everyone in the village and she makes weird, wide-eyed faces and seems very cold and emotionless at times. I think she smiled like twice in the movie. It made it very hard to like her, but I fell in love with the village people (har har village people) especially the curly haired little girl who falls in love with an older boy (played by Emmy Rossum, Phantom of the Opera, The Day After Tomorrow).
Not worth buying but interesting and I didn't feel like my time was wasted.
In Her Shoes
It was dry and I think it was Cameron Diaz's fault. Though the ending made me teary, it also made me hate my sister for being such a bad sister.
So yeah if you haven't seen this one, it's about two sisters, two opposites a partier and a seriously minded woman. The partier causes a bunch of drama and runs away. While partier, Cameron Diaz, runs away, serious-sister changes her entire life and wonders where her sister went. They end up finding each other, working out their problems, then they live happily ever after. Whatever. Dry. I like the point of the story and the bond of sisterhood but it just again lacked emotion and left absolutely no room for interpretation. I only continued to watch it cause I thought serious-sister's boyfriend was so cute (like little boy cute).
I watch too much TV.

D.C. is pretty cool...
I really like my job so far. It rocks. I have a long ass commute, but it is totally worth it.
I am kind of running low on emotional energy lately though. I think I just need to take an emotional break. Is that possible?
Anyone seen any good movies lately?
-H

Think!
Aretha had it right--people really are walking around everyday, playing games and taking scores. These same people are usually the ones who mistake my benevolence for naivety. I see what is going on; I just prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt until they have proven themselves to be absolutely not worth the effort. I get a certain amount of peace of mind from giving others that chance, and hope that I will receive the same opportunity because those are the seeds I've sown. I fell into the crowd that played those games, but couldn't stand it--too much energy exerted into work that isn't very fulfilling. I can't run on empty, so I'd rather be a (mostly) good person, and be fueled with the knowledge that my day was not spent in vain. I know every day can't be good, but I also know I can do at least one good thing everyday. Do I do it? No, of course...but I'm not going to be so busy trying to take others down that I can't help myself stand back up. To me, that doesn't make sense.
